YEARS OF EVIDENCE

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

"Years of experience" is a terrible hiring standard. Someone can do something for years and have nothing to show for it. Look for "years of evidence" instead - people with deep examples of work, piles of stuff they've made, collections of output they're proud to share. Someone new to their career might have little formal experience, but if they've been loving this work for a long time, they likely have hobby projects or examples they can't wait to show off. Titles and tenure don't matter. The work does.
